Patient's question:
What are the key points to pay attention to when checking sperm quality? I have been married to my wife for five or six years, but we have never used any form of contraception. My wife has not become pregnant, and I suspect I may have infertility. At my classmates' suggestion, I decided to undergo a routine semen analysis to better understand the precautions for a sperm check.Doctor's answer:
You don't need to worry too much. Men need to stop sexual activity for one week before collecting semen, and during this period, they should not engage in masturbation or nocturnal emissions. Daily diet and personal hygiene should also be paid close attention to, especially maintaining local hygiene. The best time to collect semen is in the morning. Before collection, the glans area should be washed clean. Semen can be extracted through masturbation or sexual intercourse. Deliver the semen to the doctor as early as possible for examination.
